My next Cavern Course is scheduled for September 8th through the 10th. Certification available through the NSS-CDS, IANTD, TDI or NAUI. Details below.
Do you dive in the springs of North Florida regularly and want to see what's around the corner? The Cavern Diver Course is a safety course designed to introduce students to the techniques and skills needed to safely enjoy the natural beauty of the caverns in North Florida. The Cavern Diver course allows graduates to explore the areas within the daylight zone by training you with the proper planning, procedures, and techniques to dive in caverns safely.
This course serves three purposes:
1. It teaches the student how to dive within the overhead environment in the daylight zone and other limitations of cavern diving.
2. It teaches the student about the risks and hazards of cave diving without the proper gear or training.
3. It is the first step in the training for cave diving.
